ABSTRACT:
An interface device backs up printer settings and operating history data of printer so that the settings and history data can be easily restored. A nonvolatile memory109in the printer101stores printer settings data. Commands from a host161are passed by the interface device131and received by a receiver103within the printer. If the command data is a print command, the print mechanism108prints the specified text or image. If the command data is a command for updating the settings data, the corresponding settings data in the nonvolatile memory109is updated and at an appropriate backup time the updated settings data is copied to a nonvolatile memory135in the interface device131. The settings data backed up into the interface device131can then be restored back to the printer's nonvolatile memory109at an appropriate data restore time.
